The team's participation meant the fixtures were subject to heavy rescheduling, which was later recognized as a mistake by the Football Union.http://www.retro-football.bg/sites/default/files/books/almanah_1954.pdf pp.65-66 League standings CHM Results summary 9 3 2 19 8 3 4 7 10 12 Bulgarian Cup 1953 Bulgarian Cup Round 1 VMS Stalin 2–1 W Akademik Stalin Varna Round 2 VMS Stalin 1–1 D Etar Veliko Tarnovo Round 2 replay VMS Stalin 3–0 W Etar Veliko Tarnovo Quarterfinals VMS Stalin 0–1 L Spartak Plovdiv Squad Pos.Nat.NameGK BUL Ivan DerventskiGK BUL Lyuben TashevDF BUL Dimitar StefanovDFBUL Gocho RusevDF BUL Todor NikolovDFBULBlagoy FilipovMF BUL Nikola PopovMF BUL Ivan ShulevMF BUL Nikola AleksievMF BUL Ivan PirgovFW BUL Spas KirovFW BUL Vasil DosevFW BUL Borislav KovachevFW BUL Kiril BogdanovFW BUL Dimitar YovchevFW BUL Todor TerzistoevFW BUL Dimitar SamsarovFW BUL Georgi Dimitrov http://www.retro-football.bg/sites/default/files/books/almanah_1954.pdf p.44 References External links http://www.retro-football.bg/?q=bg/1953 https://bulgarian-football.com/archive/1953/a-grupa.html http://www.retro-football.bg/sites/default/files/books/almanah_1954.pdf Category:PFC Cherno More Varna seasons Cherno More Varna Cherno More Varna
